On Saturday morning last at half past 10 o'clock a fire broke out on the East side of the West Jersey Railroad, at what » knowi* aa-tho JoiVBS-'MllI ah'dTh* spite of the efforts of the track-men the flames spread rapidly and before night had reached Stcelmantown, at winch place the school house 'wna destroyed, and as far South as Belle Plain. On Sunday the wind changed and tho Western branch of the fire made rapid progress toward Dough ty's Tavern burning several houses in ite path. The distance burned along tho railroad was a little over 15 miles, and at the least calculation tho fire covered an area of 25,000 acres. The following is a partial list of those who are damaged, and the number of acres burned over for each. Samuel Townscnd 300, Daniel Compton 200, (very valuable) Elvy Edwards 6 acres woodland, and 5 acres cranberries, the heirs of Dr; Marshall 800, Dr. Wales 200, Jas. L.

Tho total loss in cut wood will exceed 2300 cords. On Saturday morning last, a few

minutes after the 11.14 train had passed, a fire was discovered along the lino of tho West Jersey Railroad, about a milo below tho Court House depot. A strong wind was blowing from the North- West, and the fire spread very rapidly, burning over in loss than an hour all the land tVom the ruilroad out to the Sea-shore road at Mayville. At one time it was thought impossible to save the houses of Elifts Hand, John Niekerson, Richard Ludlam, Henry Hand and Capt. James Richardson from the flames, and it was only, by the persistent efforts of some of our citizens that they were finnllysaved. The cow-barn of Richard Ludlam caught fire and was destroyed together with a stack of sedge hay. About tho same hour A fire broke out along the railroad, in the timber of Wm. D. Edson and was carried at a rapid rate toward the main Sea-shoro mad. During the progross of the flames Eastward tho houses and barns of Messrs. Holmes Hand and Bery. Hall narrowly esoaped. About one o'clock the fire was thought to bo under control and tho largbr part of tho men returned to their homes, but the wind increased and about half past two tho flames began to spread a second time and messengers were sent to tho Court House for more help. It Was not long beforo soveral loads were on hand. The re-oiiforeoments together with those who had remained, at once began setting counter fire* along one of tho roads and succeeded in stopping tho t

Oh this abominablo house cleaning. For once there had been no rumor of the affair, and when we made our appearance in the outer world on Monday morning laBt, and were greeted with tho news that there-had been awedding, wo could not but look astonished and ask, "who? where? when?" To the first the reply was, "Mr. Daoici McKeag, of HawVinsville to Miss Mary Busby, the daughter of Thos. Busby of our town." To the second, "they were made one at 5 o'clock this morning, by Rev. Wm.

out nu<*v it luifefit have been worse, yet it was bad enough. The heirs of Randolph Marshall sustained heavy losses, as did Capt. Richard Godfrey, by the burning of timber. While the Capt. was in the wobds on Sunday morning his barn was discovered to be in flames. The discovery was made by those on the way to church, and the alarm was soon given and in less than fifteen minutes a strong forco was on hand, armed with buckets and shovels. The barn and corn crib was soon burned to the ground and with them the contents, including a handsome new carriage which had just been finished,^, bariel of oil, soveral tons of feed, corn, and hay were destroyed. Tho wind was blowing very hard at the time and carried the flames directly toward tho house, but by our united efforts and a sudden change of wind tho house was saved from tho ravages of W* h&WBMff nnablo io~Oi8fo3rtaJft' the exact loss.

The old landmark known as the "higli house," which every traveler by stago 'remembers as standing just above Millvilie on the old stage road, was sold with adjoining lands last Saturday. This house it is said was built prior to the Revolution, and it certainly has the appearance of being a centenarian. The frame is put together with bolts I and does not tremble in the wind even at its advanced age. The Bicycle has become quite an institution in the city, their number increasing weekly.
